We had some thawed cherries sitting around that needed to get used, so figured-hey! what a great time to experiment! I was a little skeptical of the recipe we used as a base for these muffins, but Elayna whisked it away and assured me that I would like the result. I guess I need to learn to trust her a bit more willingly after all because they turned out AWESOME! The smell of them baking was enough to entice me, but after one taste, I was sold for sure! They are very easy to make, fairly inexpensive, not too sweet, and indistinguishable from a non-gluten free muffin!
Very yummy and definitely a keeper!
